Well, it's true all you heard I'm living like a gypsy and I can't be cured Of this homesick blues that I've come down with I stay out late most every night In a different state getting high as a kite Until I come down I don't realize I've been flying And I suppose you know I can dig myself a hole I've been told time and again Yeah, the rumors are true But I ain't who I was back then These days I'm good and I'm grown But I'm alone most of the time Forgive or forget me If my reasons don't rhyme But don't take it too hard It's just part of living the dream
I pick and I sing But I'm finally proud of who I am now 'Cause I ain't who I was And I suppose you know I can dig myself a hole I've been told time and again Yeah, the rumors are true But I ain't who I was back then These days I'm good and I'm grown But I'm alone most of the time Forgive or forget me If my reasons don't rhyme Don't take it too hard It's just part of living the dream I pick and I sing I'm finally proud of who I am now 'Cause I ain't who I was Yeah, I'm finally proud of who I am now 'Cause I ain't who I was
